“Dream a dream so big that unless God intervenes it will fail.”

There has never been a successful social movement for any minority without the support of the majority.

The real secret of an unsatisfied life lies too often in an unsurrendered will.

If the Lord is coming soon, is this not a very practical motive for greater missionary effort? I know of no other motive that has been so stimulating to myself.

I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him to do His work through me.

God’s work is not man working for God; it is God’s own work, though often wrought through man’s hands.

Unless there is an element of risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith.

God is not looking for men of great faith, He is looking for common men to trust His great faithfulness.

Let us never forget that what we are is more important than what we do.

Christ liveth in me. And how great the difference…instead of bondage, liberty; instead of failure, quiet victories within; instead of fear and weakness, a restful sense of sufficiency in Another.

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.

One difficulty follows another very fast – but God reigns, not chance.

Believing prayer will lead to whole-hearted action.

When I cannot read, when I cannot think, when I cannot even pray, I can trust.

As a rule, prayer is answered and funds come in, but if we are kept waiting, the spiritual blessing that is the outcome is far more precious than exemption from the trial.

Devotion to God is still a voluntary thing; hence the differences of attainment among Christians.

There are three stages in the work of God: impossible, difficult,done.

But I wondered, how would I feel about killing someone? Now I know. It’s no big deal.

Love makes fools of us all, big and little.

The third big war will begin when the big city is burning.

Pain doesn’t know it’s small. Not until something bigger than itself tells it so.

The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.

There is a spiritual side to me that goes real deep, but I confess right up front that I’m the biggest sinner of them all.

If you tell a lie, tell a big one.
